Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter online about Dean Ambrose leaving WWE, and it got me digging. I remember when it happened, it felt kinda weird, right? So, I decided to piece together what went down, just for my own sanity, and I figured I’d share my notes.
First thing I did was go back to early 2019. I scrolled through old wrestling news sites and forums. That’s where I found the initial bomb – WWE actually announced Ambrose’s departure! That’s not their usual style. Usually, they just kinda… let people fade away, or they get a big send-off. This was different.
The Contract Situation
- I learned from my little investigation was that Ambrose (real name Jonathan Good, in case you didn’t know) had rejected a new contract. That’s the big reason right there.
- I found that announcement was way back in January 2019. That’s a while before he actually left, giving everyone time to speculate. WWE, said it was a mutual decision.
- I remember lots of people were talking.
So, I kept digging. I wanted to know why he wouldn’t sign. You know, just out of curiosity. What I gathered from reading tons of posts and articles was that he was probably just…done. Done with the schedule, maybe some creative differences. The usual stuff that makes a wrestler want a change. The details very from one account to another.
I didn’t find any one, single, definitive answer, but I put together a pretty good picture.
It wasn’t one big blow-up, it was more like a slow burn. And that’s what I figured happened. And, in that I’m pretty sure I’m right.
